History
=Background=
Football in the city of Molina de Segura began in the 1920s with Sport Club Molinense, with Los Luíses Football Club and Club Deportivo Molinense Balompié also being active in the period. In the 1930s and after the Spanish Civil War, several clubs were created in the city, but none of them were able to establish themselves until the creation of CD Molinense in 1952. Molinense went on to play a small number of seasons in the 1950s before being refounded in 1971, playing for several seasons in Tercera División before officially ceasing activities in 2009.
Founded in 2017 as Club de Fútbol Molina Promesas, a reserve team of CF Molina, the club were renamed to Club de Fútbol Molina Olimpic after Molina became Independiente de Ceutí FC. In 2019, after their promotion to the Preferente Autonómica, the club were renamed to Club de Fútbol Molina. Two seasons later, the club were renamed to Club de Fútbol Molina San Miguel, after establishing a partnership with Escuela de Fútbol San Miguel;{{cite web|url=https://www.futbol-regional.es/equipo.php?C.F._Molina_San_Miguel/20023|title=Unión Molinense Club de Fútbol|publisher=Fútbol Regional|language=es|accessdate=23 November 2023}} the latter club became their reserve team.{{cite web|url=http://futbol-regional.es/equipo.php?Club_de_Futbol_Molina_San_Miguel_B/19867|title=Club de Fútbol Molina San Miguel B|publisher=Fútbol Regional|language=es|accessdate=23 November 2023}}
